★Athletic Day and Day Trip★

On last week we had two big events.
Its are Athletic Day and Day Trip.
So today I would like to talk about its.

On last Wednesday we had the Athletic Day.
Our Athletic day is very similar as Japanese Taiiku-sai than American one.
So I enjoyed it very much.

In our school, there are 4 classes, K E I and O for each grades.
(But 9th grade have just 2 classes)
So we separate to their term, K E I and O to fight.
So every terms have all grades students.

Also each team has traditional color.
K's team color is white
E's team color is Blue
I 's team color is Black and
O's team color is Red
So every students must wear the T-shirt which colored your teams.

In our Athletic day we have many games.
We have
-Tamaire(The game which throw the balls to the basket which is in very high place)
-Short-distance race
-Kibasen(The Japanese traditional game, mock cavalry battle. People ride on others' backs)
-Sixteen-legged race -Tug of war
-Tengoku to Zigoku(the race which you ran with your partner and have many obstacle.)
-Water balloon battle -Boys relay -Relay

I joined in Tamaire, Kibasen, Tengoku to Zigoku and Tug of war.
It was very fun!!!
Also I got the bread because of tengoku to zigoku!!!(>o<)/

We have a lot of game in the athletic day but most important and big event in this is
Oen-gassen.
It is the japanese traditional thing to do.
We do performance something like danced and play (a little) to the other people to cheer them.
this is the not game, but it have prize so we tried very hard.
We practiced it for long time.
One before week of this, we have to practice it every day for afterschool and mornig.
So I tried my best for this.

In result I couldn't get the prize but it was very fun to me.

On last thursday we had Day trip and we went to The American Museum of Natural History.
There have many very fun things to see.
I had been here before with family, but I like this museum so I glad to came here again.
We had some Geography packet and project at this day trip and it was little difficult for me but it was very fun to see around the museum.
I thought I want to come to here again on someday.


Ah! Tomorrow we have a event again!
The Indian Hills students will come to our school to visit!!
We went to their school before so I am very happy with this. I can't wait for it(>v<)* Bye bye
